I love dogs and have been around them for most of my life. I am a proud owner of a shiba inu(a true rascal) and I love him to death. Your dog will be in good hands with me. Word of caution: he/she will be spoiled with love!

Melissa was great!! The girls enjoyed her company and she sent plenty of cute pics and updates. We will definitely be using her in the future for check ins on our pups! Thank you! -Alex, Tanisha, Honey & Pearl.

Melissa is my neighbor across the street and when I realized she has a profile on Rover. I asked her if she would be willing to our newly rescued puppy with some problematic behavior. She maintained open communication and accepted the responsibility of taking care of Rita. Rita needs constant attention as she struggles with separation anxiety and has a tendency to run away. She felt very safe at Melissa’s house. She even made a best friend with Melissa’s dog Bosco. Melissa kept us updated as soon as Rita woke up, how she spent her time with videos and pictures. Honestly, we were worried she would not want to come back home because she was having so much fun with Bosco and Melissa. We are lucky to have her as neighbor and you will be happy to have her as your rover host.

I have entrusted Melissa with my 10 year old Maltese, Oshi, many times since I met her as a neighbor a few years ago. She remains my go-to dog sitter for when I am out of town for vacation or have to go into the office for work. As he got older, Oshi has become fussier and does not tend to like strangers. However, he is always excited when he sees Melissa and greets her enthusiastically. I trust Melissa to keep Oshi engaged and exercised while I am gone, and cannot recommend a more warm and loving sitter for any of your pet sitting needs!

Melissa is a very responsible dog mom and would do well with any pet. She has a passion for taking care of animals and would do great with your fur baby too!
